Sourcing | Key Products

We are a Govt. recognised star export house. We are a trusted sourcing house for manufacturing and trading companies. In an aluminum extrusion factory, the production process involves shaping aluminum alloys into various profiles by forcing them through a die. For efficient and continuous operations, there are several spares (replacement parts) and consumables (items that are used up in the manufacturing process) that are crucial to keep the factory running smoothly. Here’s a detailed list:

Spares and Consumables used in an Aluminium Extrusion Plant

Consumables are materials that are used up during the extrusion process and need to be replenished regularly.
